Yep, great show. Also not as far back but still great were The Wonder Years and China Beach.

I enjoyed The Rookie and SWAT as a youngin. My favorites as a kid were The Six Million Dollar Man and Dukes of Hazzard


With one TV we were kind of forced to watch some crap shows at night, especially on the weekends. Dallas, Falcon Crest and this

We all were. Never understood the attraction to Lawrence Welk for any generation. “Little House on the Prairie” was mentioned. At that time I religiously watched Monday Night Football. I was living and working in NE Utah at the time and friends with a married couple who lived in town. LHotP was also on Monday and his wife loved that show. We missed an hour of the game.

I'm gonna be rich!

Mom loved that show and for the life of me, I just can't imagine it. She was in her late 30s at the time and I think of the kind of stuff I listened to when I was in my 30s and just have to shake my head. It don't make no sense.

Old - Superman and then Batman. Neither one was “great” but they are my earliest action hero type shows.
